Automated configuration changes for 6.5

The Web Installer, which installs IXIASOFT CCMS Web 6.5, automatically makes most configuration changes.

The manual configuration changes to the Content Store are listed in the section about upgrading the Content Store.

For IXIASOFT CCMS 6.5, the Web Installer changes the following:

Note: All the automated changes below apply to only IXIASOFT Dynamic Release Management (DRM).
File Change Description
accessrights.xml The object type container has been removed from the Change Status access right. The status of the container is now synchronized with the status of its version. Manually changing the status of containers or parts is not necessary.

Changing those statuses manually could lead to inconsistencies because CCMS Web only considers the status of the branch, i.e. the DRM Version/Branch object.

accessrights.xml The EditInMultipleBranches access right has been added. This access right is required by CCMS Web for the Single-Branch Authoring feature.

If users do not have this access right, Single-Branch Authoring is enabled for them.

accessrights.xml The PushTo access right has been added. This access right is required by CCMS Web for the Push feature.
container_status.xml The statuses maintenance and delivery have been added. These statuses are necessary for the new branch types.
version_status.xml The statuses maintenance and delivery have been added. These statuses are necessary for the new branch types.
accessrights.xml The DeleteDRMObject has been removed. This access right was never used. Deleting DRM objects (Product, Library, Release, Version) is controlled by the Delete access right.
accessrights.xml A new condition for the product object type has been added to the Refactor access right. The Refactor action in CCMS Desktop did not check the access rights. This is fixed in CCMS Desktop 6.5.

Thus, to enable the refactoring of products and libraries, the product object type needed to be added to the access right.

accessrights.xml The RenameVersion access right has been renamed RenameDRMVersion. The Rename action in CCMS Desktop was checking the RenameDRMVersion access right, which means that it was always enabled since that access right was not correctly named.
